' Stubbornness is substituted for will power by a great many folks. When a man starts in to speak his mind right out it is usually a poor piece. : It is strange that the kicker never seems to get sore hoofs; it must be that his heels are mighty tough. Money is not such a great comfort to own; one has to hold it so tight in order to keep it from slipping away. Sometimes when one sets out to see how fast he can ‘travel he is not able to tell the results of his experi- ment afterward. : There is a vast difference between the smile which is given for your pleasure and the one which is intend- ed to exact homage from you. Old Bill Williams says that he can’t understand why folks raise such a hue and cry against the dandelion; it is the only flower that-he cares about troubling himself to grow. : I suppose that a shade over the seat on the corn plow isa fine thing, but I cannot speak from experience. When it is too hot for me to ride the corn plow it is too hot for the horses to work. Don’t forget that even hens need fresh, cool drinking water when the weather is as hot as it has been now and no doubt will be for some time. Everything that adds to the comfort of the animals on the farm adds to the profits of the farmer. 1} Pushing the lawn mower is hard work and it is hard to see where the returns come from in dollars and cents, because they never come, but the appearance of a well-kept lawn is athing to excite admiration, no mat- ter whether it is in the town or in the country. y When farmers begin to hire mar- ried men to work for them the ‘‘back- to-the-land” movement will start in earnest and this will come, because the farmer can afford to pay more for help than anyone else. Steady work and sure pay will appeal to the wage ference in the world between the two states of mind. It is doubtful if any ,of those who|, planted cottonwoods twenty-five years ago ever guessed that the twigs they pianted would be sawed into lumber. With their experience before us we should doa great deal better. Will we do it? ~ Automobile manufacturers have at last learned that high speed is not a thing to be desired and are doing their best to make’ machines that will travel slowly and quietly on “‘high.’’ When twenty miles an hour is con- sidered driving the automobile - will come into its own. There are too many who have not learned that it is possible to do more harm than good in cultivating corn when the ground is wet and they don’t seem to be able to learn by ex- perience. It is better to let the hired man take alittle undeserved rest than to have him puddling around in the cornfield just for the satisfaction of keeping him at work. Did you ever notice that the fellow who complains the most about the cold and blizzards in the winter is the one who grunts and whines about the heat and mud in the summer? It seems that some can see and say only disagreeable things. They should be pitied, not blamed. Ican’t talk tothe average run o! folks very long without acquiring a longing to get out™ somewhere all -by myself and listen tothe birds sing. And I am by no means a misanthrop- ist, either. ButI cannot help wish- ing that even the people whom I love the most dearly had more of the sim- plicity and sweetness of the forest songsters.in them. Harvester Company Pays Fine of $25,000 . Jefferson City, June 24.—J. D. Al- len, clerk of the supreme court, re- ceived today from the International Harvester Company of America a check for $25,728.65, representing the fine and part of the costs of the litiga- tion which led to the conviction of that company on charges of violation of the anti-trust laws of Missouri. The total costs of the suit were ap- earner who supports a family. I don’t know my neighbor very well. The most of his life is a sealed book to me. He gives me only glimp- ses of its pages now and then. I look +]| at the binding, the title page, and the fly leaves. Therefore my opinion of him, in the very nature of the case, must be rather tentative. I will not judge him, because buta very little of the material upon which a just judgment should be based is availa- ble tome. Todo so would be both unjust to him and a reproach to my- self. The power to think is man’s dis- tinction. He should put thought into his work whatever it is. The aim of all education is to develop the ability touse the mind. Every occupation affords opportunity to use the mind. The mistake .whlch the mass of folks make in life is to assume that an oc- cupation which requires the use of the hands. gives little or no scope for me mere machines in it out. No work into which one puts brains as wellas muscle is mental. It seems to me that.the world needs to change its notion about what con- stitutes heroism, or at least to learn the great.lesson that heroes may be made elsewhere as well as on the field of battle. All good men pay tribute to what they consider the he- roic, and, as long as war seems to be the most productive field for this quality in human character it will be esteemed as the special arena of glo- ry. ‘If we want. wars to cease let us learn to recognize the heroism which may be engendered in the often-try- ing walks of civil life and weave for it its proper crown of applause. There is a heroism of mortal and spir- itual life which cries out for recogni- tion, and which it isfar more honor- able to glorify. .' .

Judge Theodore Brace of Paris, who was special commissioner in the in- vestigation, was paid $5,400 by the company, that representing’ his fees and traveling expenses. James Rob- erts of Marshall, stenographer, was paid $1,500 for his work in connection with the investigation. The amount of the fine, $25,000, will be turned into the state treasury by Mr. Allen, where it becomes a part of the general revenue fund of the state. There was not, as was the general impression, a judgment of absolute ouster against the Harvester company. Judge W. W. Graves, who wrote the opinion in the case, which was sus- tained later by the United States su- preme court, says the ouster was con- ditional upon future behavior. Judge Graves said it is entirely with- in the power of the court to inflict ab- solute ouster, and it is also within the power of the court to temper justice with mercy and permit the company to remain in the state, provided it keeps aloof from combinations in re- straint of businessand generally obeys the laws of Missouri. Jefferson City, June 26.—W. M. Robinson, former justice of the su- preme court, today notified J. D.

In the life of William Baskerville we find a God-fearing man, rich in love of family and of his fellowmen. Having a high conception of honor and integrity, he was possessed of a Charters’ Poland Chinas. W. H. Charters, Jr., Butler, Mo., keeps his herd of big type Poland China hogs coming along nicely from year to year and this promises to be the best year the herd: has seen for strength of character, a personality so strong that his influence was stamped upon all with whom he; came in contact." He believed in a practical, woking ‘Christianity and wag always ready to help 'the needy and unfortunate. He was honest, industrious, ece- nomical and charitable. The world is made better by the lives of such men and the yoid is never filled when such men are called up higher. William Baskerville was born in Cumberland county,’ Virginia, May 20th, 1828, and passed away on the} farm he had lived upon continuously for the past fifty years, in Bates! county, Mo., June 16th, 1914, He came to Missouri when eight years of age and grew to manhood in Cooper county. Then after spending five years freighting across the plains | and in California, he settled upon the| farm he resided upon until his death. producing a great number of extra good pigs. All have been given the simultaneous treatment and are now doing exceptionally fine. White Sox Chief, Mr. Charters’ A Wonder boar and Long Price are sires of the great- er number of the 150 early spring pigs. Wonder Chief the yearling son of White Sox Chief that is retained in the herd is the sire of a few litters and these are exceptionally good. In Wonder Chief, Mr. Charters has the making of the largest boar he has ever owned, He looks'as though he would go to the 1,000-pound class and is smooth. In order to keep getting new blood in the herd Mr. Chiat recently purchased Missouri Ki 187569, a son of Long King’s Equal, out of Ko’ Komo 3d by R. & C’s. Pawnee Lad, he by old Pawnee Lad. This boar is now two years old, has size and quality and should make a valuable addition to the herd, as he is a proven sire of exceptionally good to Mary Caldwell, of Kentucky par-|pigs.
